Nick Lachey & Jessica Simpson: Haven't spoken in 6 years

He opens up about his former wife

Nick Lachey told Andy Cohen on Bravo TV that he doesn't think of Jessica Simpson often. In fact, he hasn't spoken to her in years.

It doesn't sound like Nick Lachey thinks about his ex-wife, Jessica Simpson, much, if at all. On Tuesday night, the singer appeared on Bravo TV's Watch What Happens Live with his bandmates of 98 Degrees when he was asked about his first marriage by host Andy Cohen.

Lachey was playing the popular game "Plead the Fifth" on the late-night talk show. The singer was only allowed to refuse one question out of the three questions given by the talk show host. He gamely answered the Simpson question when Cohen asked the boy bander if the relationship felt like ancient history.

The musician responded, "It's been years [since the last time I talked to Jessica]. Years. Honestly, probably six years... It was like another lifetime ago."

Cohen asked, "What is the best thing about no longer having Joe Simpson as a father-in-law?"

It wasn't Nick who answered the question, but his brother Drew who chimed in, "Can I answer this one? Everything!"

If you thought that zinger was bad, Nick finished off the conversation by joking about the rumors that Joe is gay. He said, "The best thing about not having Joe Simpson as a father-in-law [is]... I don't have to play grab-ass under the table on Easter Sunday."
